Review: Great for Running Linux on Old PCs Without Touching Internal Drives - I bought this external SSD mainly to test and run Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon on older legacy computers, and it worked great for that purpose. The system runs smoothly straight from the drive, and performance is surprisingly good for external storage. What I really like is that I can use it without touching or modifying the internal hard drive of the PC. That made it perfect for testing Linux safely while keeping the original system intact. It’s basically a plug-and-play way to breathe new life into older machines. The drive itself is portable and fast enough for everyday use in this kind of setup. If you’re experimenting with Linux or want a non-invasive way to run an OS on older hardware, this is a great option. Very happy with this purchase.
Review: Perfect size and quality - So far so good, I have had it for a while now and no issues with connectivity or anything. The size is great, it's about the size of my palm. I stick it in a little sleeve on the back of my laptop, and that works out great.
